This virus mainly affects the\nrespiratory tracts of birds and mammals, including human beings. The doctors\nassociate this virus with respiratory illness (like flu) and along with other\nsymptoms such as cold, cough, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Bronchitis,\npneumonia, and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) can also be affected by\nthis deadly virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>History of Coronavirus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human coronaviruses were first\ncharacterized and discovered in the year 1960s, these viruses were responsible\nfor a substantial proportion of upper respiratory tract infections in children,\nand in the last 70 years, the scientists have found that coronaviruses can\ninfect dogs, cats, mice, rats, pigs, horses, cattle and turkeys (a staple\nfood). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per researches, since 2003, around 5 new human\ncoronaviruses have been identified. With the latest outbreak, it has been found\nthat infected animals can transmit coronaviruses to humans. Sometimes, these animals\ncan transmit coronaviruses to humans, and it has been proven when this virus\nspread in China last year in December 2019. Today, this virus has impacted\nalmost countries within just 2 to 3 months. People also call it as coronavirus\ndisease 2019 or COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of Human\nCoronavirus:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coronaviruses belong from\nthe family of Nidovirus. They are various types of&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;that\naffect the respiratory tract of mammals, including humans. According to the CDC, there are mainly 7 types\nof coronaviruses that can infect people, and they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Coronaviruses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>229E (alpha coronavirus)<\/li><li>NL63 (alpha coronavirus)<\/li><li>OC43 (beta coronavirus)<\/li><li>HKU1 (beta coronavirus)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Human Coronaviruses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>MERS &#8211; CoV (beta coronavirus \u2013\n     this virus can cause MERS {Middle East Respiratory Syndrome})<\/li><li>SARS &#8211; CoV (beta coronavirus \u2013\n     this virus can cause SARS {severe acute respiratory syndrome})<\/li><li>SARS \u2013 CoV -2 (novel coronavirus\n     \u2013 this virus can cause COVID-19 {coronavirus disease 2019})<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In common, people around the world\ngenerally get infected with human coronaviruses like 229E, NL63, OC43, and\nHKU1. These common human coronaviruses usually cause mild to moderate upper\nrespiratory tract illness like a common cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes coronaviruses that infect animals can evolve and make\npeople sick and become a new human coronavirus. These viruses are 2019-nCoV,\nSARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symptoms of Human\nCoronavirus (COVID-19)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of human coronavirus vary from\nperson-to-person. COVID-19 may produce few, no severe symptoms. Severe illness\nmay be fatal. The reported symptoms of this disease are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fever<\/li><li>Dry cough<\/li><li>Tiredness<\/li><li>Runny Nose<\/li><li>Sore Throat<\/li><li>Sneezing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Breathlessness or breathing shortness<\/li><li>The potential loss of taste or smell<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It may take about 2\u201314 days for a person to identify\nsymptoms after infection. As\nper today\u2019s date, there is no vaccine available for treating COVID-19. However, scientists and doctors have now\nreplicated the virus. With the help of the detection kit of COVID-19, it has\nallowed healthcare specialists to start possible available treatment in people\nwho got infected with this virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to NIH (The National Institutes of\nHealth), several groups of people&nbsp;have the highest risk of developing health\ncomplications due to COVID-19. The groups of people include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>People aged above 60 or older <\/li><li>Young children<\/li><li>Women who are pregnant<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The CDC has&nbsp;advised&nbsp;that though\nthere have been reports of complications in young children, those are rare.\nCOVID-19 most commonly produces mild symptoms in children. COVID-19 badly\naffect people those an infected and they have a weak immune system (children,\nadults and old all people are under risk if their immune system is weak). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China&#8217;s National Health Commission\nhave stated several other symptoms of a novel coronavirus, including tightness\nin the chest, breathing difficulty, dry and painful coughing. This disease\ncontinues to spread in Asia and across the world since it started in China.\nCoronavirus also has a strong potential for spreading increased transmissions between\npeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prevention and Treatment of\nCoronavirus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health\nexperts suggest that people can protect themselves with this deadly disease. Currently,\nthere is no vaccine available to prevent coronavirus disease (COVID-19). All\nthe countries are struggling to make a successful vaccine that could treat their\ncoronavirus infected people. The formula of coronavirus\u2019 vaccine is under\nresearch. You should take a Self-Check if you are experiencing any of the above-given\nsymptoms. This link of CDC will help to take\na self-check to identify if you are fit or need health assistance. If you find\na doubtful result or you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, then you\nshould consult with a doctor for a cure immediately. He will decide the best\ntreatment for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preventing coronavirus is easy.
